The recently announced theme for the 2016 March for Life is designed to counter the politically correct rhetoric which claims that to be pro-woman, you have to be pro-abortion.
Organizers of the 2016 March for Life held a briefing yesterday on Capitol Hill where they unveiled the theme for the upcoming March – “Pro-life and Pro-Woman Go Hand-in-Hand”.
“We are announcing the theme at the U.S. Capitol as we speak at a briefing we are hosting with pro-life and pro-woman friends and allies,” March for Life director Jeanne Mancini told LifeNews.
“Why this theme, why now? Each year, we try to discern the most cutting edge and critical theme for the March for Life, as well as the area that needs the most education,” she explained. “It has been said — politically and culturally — that for one to be pro-woman one must be pro-choice. But nothing could be further from the truth. Sadly, there are so many confusing messages regarding women and the issue of abortion, compounded by the false ‘war on women’ rhetoric.”
She continued: “The truth is that life is the empowering choice for women. It’s best for women and families facing unplanned pregnancies, and it’s best for developing female babies in the womb. Abortion harms women, and affects our society as a whole, in so many ways,” Mancini continued. “Through our 2016 theme, “Pro-life and Pro-Woman Go Hand-in-Hand,” we will explore this topic in many ways, and we will push back against the Planned Parenthood machine.”
At yesterday’s lunchtime briefing, March for Life Education and Defense Fund vice president Tom McClusky addressed Hill staffers who oppose abortion from both sides of the aisle and encouraged attendees “to be bolder on the issue of life.”
Through the 2016 theme organizers want to explore the topic of how advocates of life are also advocates of women as a way to push back against the “Planned Parenthood” machine.
This theme is a perfect choice for a time such as this. Not only is the country facing a presidential election in which the virulently pro-abortion politician, Hillary Clinton, is running for office, but it also comes at a time when Planned Parenthood is struggling to overcome a public relations crisis after revelations about its practice of procuring and selling aborted baby parts.
